She was the people's favorite, surged to semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open, and Princess Eugenie -- who the tennis player was named after -- looked on from the Royal Box.

Ten years ago, Bouchard's idol, Maria Sharapova, won Wimbledon as the 13th seed. And yes Bouchard, who shares the Russian's enormous appetite for titles and competitiveness streak, was seeded 13th this fortnight.

But Bouchard's coronation will have to wait, since none of the above mattered to Petra Kvitova.

Canada, too, will have to wait for a maiden grand slam singles champion.

Kvitova became the Queen of Wimbledon once again when the powerful, left-handed Czech crushed Bouchard 6-3 6-0 in a mere 55 minutes for a second crown at tennis' most prestigious tournament.

It was the most lopsided Wimbledon women's final since Steffi Graf routed Monica Seles 6-2 6-1 in 1992, not what anyone expected given Bouchard's battling qualities.

"I had great tactics from my coach and I just wanted to (win again)," Kvitova, the 2011 champion, told the crowd.

Closing the roof for the trophy presentation took almost as long as the second set.

"I don't know if I deserve all your love today but I really appreciate it," Bouchard told the crowd.

No matter what happens in the months leading into Wimbledon, Kvitova appears to instantly feel at home at the All England Club.

Whereas Kvitova hasn't reached a grand slam quarterfinal outside Wimbledon since the 2012 French Open, she's progressed to at least the last eight at tennis' most famous postcode of SW19 five straight times.

Her flat, booming ground strokes thrive on the grass, and the lower bounces are to her liking. With rallies generally shorter, she doesn't have to hit as many balls -- so can limit her unforced errors.
